03 Intentional Living: Public Space (Basics of Gospel Community)

Read & Reflect: Genesis 12:1–3, John 17:6–19

Discuss:

Where do you see your love being out of balance? (Which of the three circles on the Integrating Love circle do you struggle to incorporate?)

Based on what Jesus said in John 17, what does it mean that he was “sent into the world” (v. 18)? What does it mean that we are “sent into the world” just as Jesus was? What are the implications of this?

*How can you begin to build some margin into your life so that you have time to start building relationships with people currently outside of your sphere of influence?

*Where does your life already come into contact with people who don’t know Jesus? (E.g., sports, school, work, recreation, hobbies, neighborhood.) How can you be more intentional when you’re in these settings so as to begin relationships?
